Hey Carole.....I am in love with all this industrial goodness! Those wire baskets...those enamel numbers....did you see a 52 by any chance? Great post....I have LOVED all these gift show posts! Fabulous photos! What did you order for the shop? :) Laura

I love all the industrial... the metal baskets, storage etc etc... the enamel... i truly love this style... i think i want everything i see in your photos today.. not to mention seeing NYC in person!!! yep!! this post if fabulous.. and worth the wait.. although I missed your post terribly and have been checking daily!!! The glass funnels are gorgeous.. I had a similar funnel for my essential oils.. been searching everywhere for it and found it last week.. washed it.. and dropped it!! no more funnel.. I'll have 3 of these please!! don't bother wrapping ... i'll take the as they are... along with most everything in these gorgeous photos. Love the light globes too.. I love glass en masse [but i suspect you know that now hahaha]

Well my friend .. this post has made my day.. It has reminded me how much I love the industrial style so i may have to remember that next time i go shopping.. Take care xxx Julie

Okay, I admit it, I'm not a huge fan of vintage. I like some of it but mostly I pick, pick, pick. The newer stuff is more my style but you're one of those people who can pull it all together so I know if you like it Carole, it will look good. Why can't I be like that?

Hi Carole, This time I especially love all the wire cages, baskets as well as the metal containers with the round glass insert. The numbered tags and plates are also great and the assortment of hooks on the green wall is just amazing.Thank you for the whole wonderful tour and all the work you had put in to show us all the fantastic goodies!xoxo,Julia

My favorite of all the NY posts. I want it all, just send me the bill and send me stuff! Hey Kathleen, watch out! I've already offered to carry all her bags next time. :-) Ok, how about YOU carry MY bags and I"LL carry Carole's. uh oh who will carry yours? hehe

Wow!! That best describes my reaction to all that you have shown me. Beautiful!! I loved all the storage ideas. That is always my issue. Attractive storage. I did find some metal gym locker baskets that are way cool. Just need to figure out where to use them so I can show them off. LOL!Love this whole trip!! I loved seeing all the photos.HugsSueAnn

So many beautiful photos!!!!I really need to go back to that show. Next time I will take pictures:) I love the wire baskets too. I have some and they have such a great look they can be put anywhere. Have a great weekend! The Hartford Flower Show is on this weekend!~DebraBlog: Capers of the vintage vixens

Carole, I see we visited many of the same booths! I am so glad you took pictures because I was too chicken too! I also see you discovered many that I missed as well! My feet just couldn't handle anymore! I'll have to plan better for next year. Kim

I can't begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed going to market with you. If I only had smellablog, it would be just like Disneyland for junkers. Someday when I get to be a grown up, I would love to go for real, but in the meantime...I'll just look at your photos over and over!Debbie

Hi Carole,I know, what is it about those wire baskets?They are awesome, as is everything in the photos.Makes you want it all.Glad you like my Alice Crown.I have an old Alice book too. So fun!Have a great weekend,Rosemary

Many thanks for taking us on such a wonderful tour of the Gift fair.I am in love with the wire baskets, and the enameled numbers and the shadow boxes. (just imagining all the delightful things you could put in there.

Hi CaroleYou have outdone yourself on those pictures = great job! Felt like I went to the NY show myself. Thank so much...wonderful booths. Were those shadow boxes for sale or just display?BlessingsRebecca

Thank you Carole, this was a very interesting and inspiring tour! I saw some great things I'd like to have or create! It was so sweet that you was kind of speechless or starstruck when Wendy Addison asked you if you had a question, the he he :) She's one of my favorite artists too so I don't know how I would have reacted, probably just as you did.Oh btw my daughter Roxanne is going to NY state in August this year to study Digital media for 6 month at Buffalo University. I so hope that I'll be able to go and visit her next Winter! If so I will have to ask you for beautiful places and shops in the area, she will have a car so we can travel around! Maybe I could even visit Maynard Greenhouse! Such an exciting thought!I know for sure that I'll have to go to Tinsel Trading in NYC!Sending you warmest wishes from Germanyxoxo, Carola

Oh Carole,I'm so sorry that I'm late on this one. I've been trying to comment for what seems likr days but it wont work !! Arghhhh.I do a brilliant (!) comment and then I lose it and forget what I said !!Anyway....Julie has said it all for me ! haha. I love the wire baskets and the enamel numbers. I have only one enamel number. 14. the number of my house. If you see any lying in a gutter that you don't want, send them my way, will you ?I also want the glass triangular cloches and the glass jars with the metal lids. I can remember them as a child in sweet shops. I can still remember the sound when the shopkeeper unscrewed the top to get the sweets out !....AND finally, I must have the clock. I love massive clocks. They really make a ststement, don't they?Love it all Carole and I look forward to our trip next year !! XXXX

Yes, we have to plan on going together next year:) Yes there was an iron woman there. Do you ever set up at any shows? Do you sell Witch Hazel? Oh, and have you ever seen the huge leaves made of cement or something like cement? Well they were over $100.oo there and I found them for $22.00!!!!!! They are so nice. I went house plant shopping Monday and came home with my little car full of plants and the leaves:)Talk to you soon.~Debra
